No, the contact_id field stays empty, and also in the webinterface, there is 
no contact for the created company.

No, in the webinterface, when I edit an enterprise, then I can only assign 
one contact, it is a radio button selection. 
I just tried, and when I set a contact in the webui, then it takes the 
company_id from the account, and fills this company_id in the contact_id 
field in the company record.

With Contact in this case, I mean an account, not a person from the contacts 
database. There I know, I have the many:many relationship as you describe.

does that mean, only in the zogi source from google, or will it also be in 
the sources bundled with ogo?
